That still doesn't explain why there are way more indepented games on XBL then there are on PS3 and Nintendo consoles not to metion that one of the most successful recent independent games on the PC is also the best selling game of all time on XBL. On top of that the 360 also had the first two hugely succesful indepentent games on home consoles this gen with Braid and Castle Crashers. My point still stands for the most part MS doesn't treat indepented developers horrible and the ones that are complaining are upset because there is so much competition on XBL. |
There are loads of Indie game studios in north america, a lot less in Europe. Doujin games in japan are mostly on pc and are never edited here. Now think about it. When someone say console in america, what do people answer ? Playstation orn Xbox ? Knowing that Nintendo has an horrible way to treat american indies.
There are a lot of american indie games on XBLA because there are a lot of XBOX in america. Now, imagine you are an indie dev, you hate xbox but that was the only till now, and a new generation of console randomly shows up. And you can change the way people buy by influencing your fans. would you stay with microsoft ?
